The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has denied the recall of
ambassadors by President Muhammadu Buhari.
A spokesperson for the
ministry, Ogbole Ode, told PREMIUM TIMES that the recall never happened as the
ministry has no knowledge of such incident.
He said he spoke with the
permanent secretary of the ministry who confirmed the news was a mere rumour.
He blamed social media
and online news forums for carrying such information that do not emanate from
the government.
There was a news report
over the weekend that President Muhammadu Buhari had recalled Nigerian
ambassadors.
According to the report,
which first appeared in the traditional media, Femi Adesina, special adviser to
the President on Media and Publicity had confirmed the news.
But Mr. Ode said the
reports were all false.
